OSLO, Norway – BW Energy has started production from the DTM-7H well in the Gamba formation, part of the Tortue Phase 2 development offshore Gabon.
DTM-6H in the Dentale formation should come onstream in the next few days. Production prior to the two new wells has been around 11,500 b/d of oil.
The Tortue development comprises six producer wells, all tied back to the FPSO BW Adolo. Completion of DTM-6H and DTM-7H had to be suspended last year due to COVID-19 issues.
Carl K. Arnet, CEO of BW Energy, said: “Operationally we will now focus on stabilization of the production and wrapping up the project activities.”
The recent installation of a nitrogen generation module on the FPSO has also improved production efficiency, the company added.
